MERL – Adaptive Tree Addressing Scheme for Wireless Ad Hoc and Sensor Networks
Address assignment in wireless sensor networks, where nodes have limited resources, is a challenging issue. We introduce a novel concept of organizing address space into a multi-dimensional hypercube, as a 3-dimensional space shown by Figure 1, and then transforming that space into a tree structure.

The video on the web page below explains how surveillance technology eliminates or reduces many of our personal privacy rights in the name of social justice. Privacy laws must be strengthened to prevent groups and individuals from accessing personal data.

When you make a search on Google, your ip address, the time, and what you searched for is stored in their database forever and this information can be used in a court of law against you. Google will willingly allow authorities to consult their database, they already did as you can see in the video below. When you search on Google through Googlonymous, it is Googlonymous that goes on Google and does the search for you, the only ip address that Google will see, is the ip address of the server of Googlonymous. Googlonymous does not keep any record who searched for what. So this way, it is completely impossible to retrieve your identity. You can search for whatever you want without a care in the world, 100% anonymously.
